Well let's be honest about it - before I came back I seem to remember I was pretty rude to you on occassion (and I was very very rude to various christians - which Jar did a very good and honest job of pointing out to me). Over my break, I thought - what's the point? surely if we do anything here - it's to try and understand each other a bit better.
Surely that's a worthy objective? I honestly think we need more threads where we
honestly ask and listen. Surely that has to lead to both a better understand of our fellow man and a higher quality level of debate?
